Minnetonka boasts many successful sports teams, one of them being its Girls Softball team. During the 2017-2018 school year, the varsity team won the Lake Conference and had a 15-7 record. The softball team has also won the state finals and conference finals in the past. However, much of the team last year was composed of graduating seniors, and, this year, many new players were added to the team.
With the celebrations of spring that the end of April inevitably brings, many families head to the grocery store to buy eggs. According to AgHires, close to 180 million eggs are purchased each year for Easter festivities. While eggs are traditionally associated with the Easter holiday, they also symbolize the spring season. This protein-packed food is used in an assortment of egg-related activities, from decorating to using them as a prize for an egg hunt.
Coca-Cola has taken on the world and entranced everyone with their pop since 1886. Many flavors and versions have been created from cherry and vanilla to new twists like diet mango and orange vanilla, but there is a long-standing debate about whether or not these new flavors are worth all the hype.

May is a busy time of year at Minnetonka. There’s finals review and cramming in that extra hour of studying before the A.P. exam. There are track meets, and soccer games and an itch to get outside and enjoy the warmer weather. For administration, one of the biggest focuses of the coming month is getting ready for that big event on June 6th: graduation.
